 **The setup-browser-cookies workflow judge now has a preregistered calibration corpus, and its structured-output calibration is recorded as held, so the judge stays on today's request (GSTA-91).** In train-4 gate 40173759210, the cookie judge (claude-sonnet-5-5, free-text transport) returned JSON with an unescaped quote. The repo's fix for that shape is the JSON-schema transport, and `test/fixtures/judge-calibration/README.md` lets a configuration switch only after a calibration lands. The cookie configuration had no corpus until now. Its comparison-1 run removed the parse errors (old 2 of 144 samples, new 0 of 72) and matched or improved every other measure. It is held on one landing condition: a new false pass on a07. a07 scored 4/4/4 on all three new samples and on all three `old-b` samples. `old-a`'s a07 panel is incomplete because one old sample returned invalid JSON (both valid `old-a` a07 samples also scored 4/4/4), and false passes are counted against `old-a` alone, so the result counts against the new request only.

+## [1.91.231.0] - 2026-10-26
+
+**A fresh install is about 520 MB smaller: `./setup` installs production dependencies only.** Setup ran `bun install` without `--production`, so every user also got the test and eval toolchain from `devDependencies`, mostly the Claude Agent SDK's native binaries (both the glibc and musl builds on Linux, ~440 MB). Measured on a clean Ubuntu 24.04 container with a cold Bun cache (4 vCPU, two runs each): `node_modules` goes from 1,094 MB to 572 MB, the checkout from 1.74 GB to 1.22 GB, and the whole install with Chromium from 2.42 GB to 1.90 GB. `./setup` took 24.6 s and 20.0 s before, 21.1 s and 18.9 s after.
+
+### Changed
+- **`setup`**: every dependency install (before the build, the Codex render and each host render) goes through one `install_runtime_deps` function: `bun install --production --frozen-lockfile`. Bun treats `--production` as frozen, so when `bun.lock` is behind `package.json` (a fork or a local edit) it refreshes the lockfile with `bun install --lockfile-only` and installs production-only again. **`bin/gstack-browser-ensure`** installs the same way when `node_modules` is missing, and its failure line suggests the production install rather than a full `bun install`.
+- **`package.json`**: `@anthropic-ai/sdk` (loaded by `gstack-distill-free-text`, /plan-tune's dream cycle) and `xterm` and `xterm-addon-fit` (copied into the browser extension by `bun run build`) move to `dependencies`, because a user install runs them. The Claude Agent SDK, TypeScript, Prettier and `@types/bun` stay dev-only.
+- **Contributors and CI keep the full install.** `./setup` treats a checkout that already has the dev toolchain (`node_modules/typescript`) as a contributor's and runs the full `bun install --frozen-lockfile` there, so dev packages keep following `bun.lock` after a pull (a production install would report "no changes" and leave them at old versions). `bin/dev-setup` now always runs `bun install` (it skipped it when `node_modules` existed, which would have left a checkout first set up by `./setup` without the dev toolchain). CI workflows already run `bun install --frozen-lockfile` themselves. CONTRIBUTING.md says which command installs what.
+
+### If you already have gstack installed
+- An existing install keeps its dev dependencies and keeps getting the full install, because it already has the dev toolchain. To get the space back: `cd ~/.claude/skills/gstack && rm -rf node_modules && bun install --production --frozen-lockfile && rm -rf "$(bun pm cache)"/@anthropic-ai/claude-agent-sdk*`. The last step matters: Bun hardlinks `node_modules` into its global cache, so the Agent SDK's binaries stay on disk until their cache entries go. Don't do this in a checkout you develop gstack in.
+
+### Tests
+- `test/setup-production-deps.test.ts`: `install_runtime_deps`, sliced out of `setup` and run against a recording `bun` that models Bun's frozen `--production`, passes `--production` on the frozen-lockfile call, refreshes a stale lockfile before retrying, and stops setup when the refresh fails. A checkout with the dev toolchain gets the full frozen install, and a failed full install stops setup too. A walk of `bun.lock`'s production closure (with required-peer and optional-peer controls) proves no production dependency brings in `typescript`, the marker setup checks. The real-Bun rows run with `HOME`, `XDG_CONFIG_HOME` and `BUN_CONFIG_*` isolated, so a developer's global `.bunfig.toml` cannot change them. Run with the real Bun on local `file:` packages: a fresh install leaves out devDependencies, a later production install keeps the ones a full install added, and a stale lockfile is refreshed while the install stays production-only. No other line in `setup` calls `bun install` (the pre-change line is the negative control). `bin/dev-setup`'s install block, run over an existing `node_modules`, still calls plain `bun install`. A scan of every shipped file (`bin`, `lib`, `browse/src`, `design/src`, `make-pdf/src`, `hosts`, `extension`, the resolvers, and the scripts `setup` and the build call by path) finds no import or `require` of a package outside `dependencies`. Modules the shipped code reaches by relative import (gen-skill-docs' `scripts/` helpers, and the `test/helpers/providers` modules `gstack-model-benchmark` loads) are scanned too. Negative controls: a planted Agent SDK import is caught, including one split over several lines and a re-export; a type-only import is not; and moving `@anthropic-ai/sdk` back to dev flags `gstack-distill-free-text`. The packages `bun run build` copies out of `node_modules` are production dependencies.
+- `test/gstack-browser-ensure.test.ts`: with `node_modules` missing, the preflight runs the frozen production install, refreshes a stale lockfile before retrying, and ends a failed install in `BROWSER_UNAVAILABLE` with a production-install fix line.
+- The install fixtures' stub `bun` (`test/helpers/install-fixture.ts`, `test/helpers/claude-overlay-fixture.ts`, `test/team-mode.test.ts`) now matches `install --production --frozen-lockfile`. The team-mode stub fails on any other argv; the two helper stubs hand other commands to the real `bun`, so for them the new argv is a match, not a regression check.
+
+### Gate integrity
+- No threshold, budget, timeout, trial count, case kind or assertion was weakened. The four stub patterns (in three files) changed to the new argv only.
+
+## [1.91.230.0] - 2026-10-26
+
+### Changed
+- **The archetype the user picks on the /design-shotgun board now reaches /design-html.** Captions name the archetype id (`classic-hero`, `long-form-story`, `minimal-conversion`, `comparison`). On approval, approved.json also gets the chosen `archetype` and its `sections` outline, added with the Edit tool so no free text reaches a shell command. /design-html reads both in Case A, and the craft section uses them as given instead of choosing again or asking.
+- **Accepted craft exceptions persist.** /design-html's finalized.json records each accepted `CRAFT_CHECK` finding in `craft_exceptions` (`id`, `count`, `reason`) and carries forward earlier ones. A later run passes that file with `--accepted`, so a finding the user already accepted is reported as accepted instead of flagged again. A higher count is still flagged as a new issue.
+
+### Added
+- **`gstack-design-craft --accepted <finalized.json>`**: a finding whose id an exception covers, at no more than the accepted count, prints `CRAFT_ACCEPTED: <id> <count> <reason>` and doesn't fail the check. `CRAFT_RESULT` adds the accepted count. Exit codes: 0 when only accepted findings remain, 1 for unaccepted ones, and 2 for an unknown argument or a missing, unreadable or malformed exceptions file. A bad exceptions file still gets the full check with nothing accepted, after a warning, so a broken record can't switch the craft check off. A finalized.json with no `craft_exceptions` field, written before this change, means no exceptions.
+
+### Tests
+- `design-html-slop-gate` is now selected by changes to `lib/design-craft.ts` and `bin/gstack-design-craft` (`test/helpers/touchfiles-data.ts`), which it already exercised but did not list.
+- `test/design-craft.test.ts` also covers accepted exceptions: count coverage and overflow, duplicate ids carried forward (the highest count wins), a bad exceptions file still checked in full, the finalized.json block in design-html/SKILL.md parsed by the same reader the CLI uses, rejected malformed lists, CLI exit codes with `--accepted`, and the archetype handoff contract (the same four ids in /design-shotgun and the craft section, the approved.json step, Case A and the craft section's no-re-ask rule).

+## [1.91.229.0] - 2026-10-26
+
+**The OpenSSF Scorecard workflow uploads its results with `github/codeql-action/upload-sarif` 4.39.0 (from 4.38.3), recreated from Dependabot's #3307.** Dependabot's branch can't take a version stamp at merge time, so the same one-line change ships from a crew branch. The new pin `6f2ac81f5cd81fe351a197ba0b00d91d03cd2aee` is the commit that the annotated tag `v4.39.0` points to in github/codeql-action, and GitHub shows that commit as verified. 4.39.0's one breaking change raises the minimum CodeQL bundle to 2.20.7, which applies to `init` and `analyze`. This workflow uses only `upload-sarif` with Scorecard's own SARIF file.
+
+### Changed
+- **`.github/workflows/scorecard.yml`**: `upload-sarif` pinned to `6f2ac81f…` (`# v4.39.0`), byte-for-byte the change in #3307.
+
+## [1.91.228.0] - 2026-10-26
+
+**Skills start at once on Windows again: the workflow lease lock no longer depends on symlinks (#3330).** `bin/gstack-lease` took its lock with `ln -s "<holder token>" .lock`. In Git for Windows' default symlink mode (`MSYS` unset), `ln -s` cannot link to a target that does not exist, so the lock was never taken. Every skill start then waited out all 300 tries (0.1 s apart, plus process start costs) before `gstack-skill-start` printed anything, and still wrote no lease. One report measured 499 s per skill start. The error also blamed a "live process" with an empty pid.
+
+### Fixed
+- **`bin/gstack-lease`**: the lock is now a `.lock` directory taken with `mkdir`, which is atomic on every host gstack runs on, with an `owner` file naming the holder's pid and start identity. A taker writes a claim (`.lock.claim.<pid>`) before its `mkdir` and renames it in as the owner after, so a lock left ownerless by a taker killed between the two steps is broken once no claimant lives and the lock is at least 2 s old and unchanged while it was checked (a live taker between its two steps is never mistaken for a crash, and a new lock made meanwhile is never removed). A claim that records no start identity (Git Bash has none) is abandoned after 2 minutes, so a reused pid cannot keep an orphan forever. An owner that names no valid pid (0, zero-padded or not a number) counts as a dead holder, an owner file that exists but cannot be read keeps the lock, and an empty owner, a stray file at `.lock`, or an ownerless lock whose mtime is a minute or more in the future (clock skew) counts as ownerless instead of wedging every skill start. A lock is removed by renaming it aside first, so nobody sees it half-removed; once renamed it is released even if the renamed copy cannot be deleted, and `touch` prunes leftover copies and claims over 2 minutes old whose claimant is gone or recorded no identity. A late taker never overwrites an owner already in the lock it made. A waiter no longer writes a claim or runs `mkdir` while the lock is visibly held, and a live holder that never lets go bounds the wait at 300 tries or 30 s, whichever comes first (a non-numeric `GSTACK_LEASE_LOCK_TRIES` falls back to 300 instead of looping forever). Stale-holder semantics are unchanged: a lock is broken only when its holder is dead or its pid now belongs to another process, breakers still serialize on `.lock.break` and reread before removing, and unlock removes only the caller's own lock. A symlink `.lock` left by an older gstack is still read and broken the same way, and it excludes the new lock at the same path. The reverse does not hold: an older gstack's `ln -s` onto the directory lock links inside it, so a process that started before an upgrade of the same checkout can briefly share the lock (documented as a known limit, with a taker stalled over 2 minutes mid-take on a host without start identities).
+- A dead holder's lock that cannot be renamed aside (a Windows file in use) is removed in place under `.lock.break`, and when that fails too the try is counted, so `touch` ends with exit 3 instead of spinning without sleeping. The message no longer calls a dead holder live.
+- The 120-minute prune in `touch` no longer reaches into the lock: it removed the `owner` file of a holder that resumed past the window, which then left its own lock behind.
+- When the lock cannot be taken although nobody holds it, `touch` now fails after ten quick retries with `gstack-lease: cannot take the lease directory lock <path>` instead of waiting out every try and naming an empty pid. `gstack-skill-start` stays fail-open, as before.
+- `docs/capy-install.md` describes the directory lock.
+
+### Tests
+- `test/gstack-lease-git-bash.test.ts` (new, in the curated windows-free-tests lane, launched through `lib/script-invocation.ts`, so Git Bash on `windows-latest`): `touch` with the default 300 tries takes the lock on its first try (no sleep between tries), writes its lease and leaves no lock. On `windows-latest` the old bin fails this case; a host whose `ln -s` fails like Git Bash's still takes the lock (with a control that the shim really fails `ln -s`); a lock held by a live Git Bash process is kept and named, and a dead holder's lock is broken. The last two fail against the old bin.
+- `test/gstack-lease.test.ts`: the dead-holder, live-holder and dead-breaker cases run against both the directory lock and the legacy symlink lock. The race cases inject at `mkdir` instead of `ln`. New cases: a lock held by a running gstack-lease excludes a second taker, which names it; 16 parallel touches all land and leave nothing behind; an ownerless lock is kept while a claimant lives and broken once none does; a lock that cannot be taken while nobody holds it fails without sleeping between tries. Seven of these fail against the old bin.
+- From /ship's coverage audit and review: the 16 parallel touches now also prove no two are inside the lock at once (a mutant whose `mkdir` always succeeds fails it); the exclusion case holds the lock until the test releases it instead of for a 3 s sleep; a young ownerless lock is kept and malformed locks (empty owner, pid 0 or 00, a non-numeric owner, a stray file, an mtime an hour ahead) are broken; an identity-less claim older than 2 minutes neither keeps an ownerless lock nor survives `touch` while an old claim with a live identity is honored; an unreadable owner file keeps the lock; `--help` prints the whole usage again; leftover renamed-aside copies are pruned; a live holder bounds `touch` by the 30 s deadline with the default and with a non-numeric tries value, without one `mkdir` on the held lock; the prune keeps a resumed holder's lock; a renamed-aside lock that cannot be deleted never takes a new taker's lock with it; a dead holder's lock that cannot be renamed aside ends `touch` instead of spinning. Each case that pins a fix fails against the bin before that fix. Also covered: a live or ownerless `.lock.break`, a failed owner rename, a lock released between a failed take and its check, and unlock's fallback. The Git Bash case now also checks that the live holder still owns the lock after a blocked `touch`.
+
+### Gate integrity
+- No threshold, budget, timeout, trial count, case kind or assertion was weakened. Three existing race tests moved their fault injection from `ln` to `mkdir`, because the lock no longer calls `ln`. Their assertions are unchanged. Under /ship review, the exclusion case's wait for the holder's owner file rose from 2 s to 10 s and its fixed 3 s hold became a release file (no assertion changed), the ownerless-lock cases backdate their planted lock by a minute because an ownerless lock is now broken only once 2 s old (their assertions are unchanged; the new young-lock case pins the guard), and the exclusion and parallel cases got an explicit 30 s test timeout instead of Bun's 5 s default.
+
+## [1.91.227.0] - 2026-10-26
+
+**Windows: gstack's record bins stop losing review, question, learning and timeline records when Git Bash path conversion is off (#3415).** Since GSTA-56 every shell bin started Bun with `--config=/dev/null`. Native `bun.exe` cannot open `/dev/null`: it exits 1 with `EINVAL` on Bun 1.3.10, 1.4.2 and 1.4.4 (measured on windows-latest). Git Bash hides this by rewriting the argument to `nul`, but only while MSYS path conversion is on. With it off (`MSYS_NO_PATHCONV` set to any value, even empty; `MSYS2_ARG_CONV_EXCL=*`; or Cygwin), `gstack-review-log`, `gstack-question-log` and `gstack-learnings-log` exited 1 with nothing written, and `gstack-timeline-log` exited 0 with nothing written.
+
+### Fixed
+- **40 shipped shell files** (the bash bins, the Claude hook wrappers, `setup`, `scripts/build-cso.sh` and one migration) define `GSTACK_BUN_CONFIG` once and start Bun with `--config="${GSTACK_BUN_CONFIG:-/dev/null}"`. The value is `NUL` only when `OSTYPE` is `msys` or `cygwin` (Git Bash, MSYS2 and Cygwin, the check `gstack-doctor` already uses) and `cygpath` is on `PATH`; everywhere else it is `/dev/null`. The `cygpath` check is a builtin `command -v`, so it forks nothing. It means an `OSTYPE=msys` inherited by a Linux or macOS bash keeps `/dev/null`, instead of passing a relative `NUL` that Bun there resolves to a file in the repository. Bun 1.4.2 and later, the version gstack tests against, read `NUL` as an empty config whether or not conversion is on. Bun 1.3.10 on Windows exits 1 on `--config=NUL` and on the lowercase `nul` that Git Bash used to produce alike (measured from PowerShell on windows-latest; the #3085 entry recorded a panic). Versions between 1.3.3 and 1.4.1, which setup and `gstack-doctor` only warn about, were not measured. The `:-/dev/null` default covers a call that loses its definition: it still passes `/dev/null`, so POSIX is unchanged and Windows fails loudly as before, and never reads the repository's `bunfig.toml`. `bin/gstack-codex-probe` is sourced into the caller's shell, so it defines the variable inside the one function that starts Bun and still runs nothing at source time.
+- **`bin/gstack-timeline-log`** and **`gstack-developer-profile --log-session`**: invalid input still exits 0 with nothing logged (the hook-path contract). Their validators now print `valid` or `invalid`, and any non-zero exit, which is Bun itself failing, is reported on stderr and returned instead of being skipped as invalid. The verdict is not an exit code because a Bun crash on Windows exits 3. When stamping a missing `ts` fails, `gstack-timeline-log` keeps the original event instead of appending an empty line. Their production callers (`gstack-skill-start`, `gstack-skill-end` and the `/office-hours` templates) still discard stderr and the exit status, so the report shows only when the bin is run directly.
+- Unchanged: bun shebangs keep `--config=/dev/null` because a shebang cannot name a per-platform path, and skill prose (templates and resolvers) keeps it because `test/bun-entry-isolation.test.ts` holds skill sources to the literal spelling. TypeScript spawns keep `bunIsolationArgs()`, and `scripts/ubicloud/` keeps `/dev/null` because it runs on Linux.
+- Not covered: callers that hand `bun.exe` a POSIX script path built from `pwd` or `$HOME` (the Claude hook wrappers, `autoplan/bin/phase-publication-hook`, `plan-ceo-review/bin/mode-handoff-hook`, and some `gstack-doctor`, `gstack-codex-probe`, `setup` and migration calls) only got the config spelling. With path conversion off they may still fail on the `/c/...` script path itself. The record bins convert their own paths with `cygpath -m`; the others were not verified on Windows with conversion off. Bun shebang entry points and Bun calls in skill prose still pass the literal `--config=/dev/null`, so with conversion off they fail with `EINVAL` as before. One example is the outside-voice probe in `scripts/resolvers/outside-voice.ts`, which then reports Claude as not installed.
+
+### Tests
+- `test/bun-config-shell-bins.test.ts` (new; force-included in the Windows lane):
+  - On every platform, the four record bins run through `lib/script-invocation.ts` with conversion off in a repository whose `bunfig.toml` preload and `.env` are hostile. Each writes exactly one record, and neither the preload nor the `.env` state root takes effect. Invalid timeline input still exits 0 silently.
+  - On POSIX hosts a simulated Windows bash (`OSTYPE=msys`, a `cygpath`, and a `bun` stand-in that rejects `/dev/null` with EINVAL as `bun.exe` does) reproduces the bug: on main the four bins write nothing and the timeline control exits 0 (5 failures); with the fix they pass. The controls, without `OSTYPE=msys`, show each bin exits non-zero with nothing written.
+  - An inherited `OSTYPE=msys` with no `cygpath`, in a repository that commits a file named `NUL` with a preload, leaves each bin on `/dev/null`: the record is written and the preload never runs. This fails on the first version of this fix (4 failures).
+  - `gstack-developer-profile --log-session` reports a rejected config on stderr and exits non-zero, and still skips invalid input silently. This fails on main.
+  - A `bun` that exits 3 with no output, the way a Bun crash exits on Windows, makes both bins report and exit non-zero instead of skipping the event as invalid input. This fails with an exit-code verdict.
+- `test/bun-isolation-launch.test.ts`: the shell-file spelling stays isolated with conversion off, and a win32-only control shows that the literal `--config=/dev/null` fails there with EINVAL.
+- `test/bun-entry-isolation.test.ts`: shipped shell files must use the fail-closed spelling and define `GSTACK_BUN_CONFIG` with the canonical line before first use. A `local` definition covers only the rest of its function. Skill sources keep the literal spelling.
+- `test/learnings-injection.test.ts`, `browse/test/learnings-injection.test.ts` and `test/setup-hook-canonical-paths.test.ts` now anchor on the new spelling. The two learnings-injection files also check that the anchored `bun -e` block exists. Before, a missing anchor sliced the script's last character and the negative assertions passed without checking anything.
+
+### Gate integrity
+- `test/bun-entry-isolation.test.ts` is strengthened. On POSIX the required shell spelling still resolves to `/dev/null`.
+  - Now offenders: the literal `--config=/dev/null` in a shipped shell file, and an undefined or redefined `GSTACK_BUN_CONFIG`.
+  - The shell-caller detector also skips a `--config` value before deciding whether a call starts a program, so `bun --no-env-file --config=<anything> -e` no longer passes unchecked. The tree has no such call.
+  - Negative controls, each of which fails the check: the old spelling, a variable without the default, an empty `--config=`, a missing, late or altered definition, a `local` definition used from another function, and a reverted bin.
+  - No threshold, budget, timeout, trial count or case kind changed.

+**/review can re-review just its own fixes after a fixing pass, under the same rules as /ship (#3339).** Before, every /review fix cycle reran the whole review over the whole branch, so a large branch could hit the three-cycle stop on findings in code the earlier passes had already read. Now the pass after an edited pass starts with `gstack-review-log --start review --fix-range` and its checklist, specialists and QA read only what changed since that pass. The Step 4.8 adversarial review still reads the whole branch on every pass, because its rows carry their own freshness. A narrowed pass is never the final review: when it makes no edits, /review runs one full pass before writing the final record, and a fix-range record is never CURRENT. Garry's "do it" on 2026-10-24 for a fix-range re-review with a final full pass covers it.

State-matrix detection builds `origin/<base>` from its argument, and the slop scan diffs `<base>...HEAD`, which is empty while /review's fixes are uncommitted. If the logger refuses (for example, the first pass read uncommitted work, so no commit marks what it read), the pass starts full.
+- **Step 5.8**: an edited pass now saves its own record with `converged:false` before the repeat, because the fix-range start takes its base from that record. Before, only the final pass was logged. Step 5.0 never treats this invocation's own records as prior reviews, so a defect the user skipped this invocation is not suppressed on the next pass and still counts as unresolved. "No edits" fills the final record only after a full pass; after a fix-range pass it repeats Steps 3–5 with a full start. Each logged pass finishes its own REVIEW_START.
+- Nearby prose was tightened to pay for the growth (the slop-scan note, the Step 4.7 probe-reuse rule, the search-before-recommending list, the version-compare note, the final-report and Greptile lines). Every host's review SKILL.md shrank by 36 characters, and its size pin was lowered to match. The Claude skeleton is 80,581 bytes against its 80,900 cap.
+
+### Tests
+- `test/review-fix-range.test.ts` adds five cases. Two check the rendered rules: the first pass's start block has no `--fix-range`, only the pass after an edited pass narrows, FIX_BASE replaces only DIFF_BASE outside Step 4.8, a refusal falls back to a full start, the edited pass is logged before the repeat and kept out of Step 5.0, and a fix-range pass is never final. Three run /review's real order on every pass against the real logger: core start, then the Step 4.8 attempt's start and finish, then fixes in the working tree, then the core finish with the pass's own token, and never a commit. A committed first pass narrows the next repeat to the uncommitted fixes, and the following repeat is refused back to a full pass that is CURRENT. A zero-edit fix-range row is UNVERIFIED even if it were logged. A first pass over uncommitted work can't be narrowed.
+- `test/review-workflow-clarity.test.ts`: three expectations follow the new contract: the "No edits" marker, the edited pass saving its record with `converged:false`, and each pass finishing its own token instead of only the final one. The test formerly named "finish only the final core token without log-time capture" is now "each logged pass finishes its own core token without log-time capture". It still requires one `--finish REVIEW_START`, no `--start review` in Step 5.8 and no log-time token capture.
+
+### Gate integrity
+- One gate change to review: /review may narrow a repeat pass. Verdict: this does not weaken what the final review covers, because a narrowed pass can't be the final record. The logger never marks a fix-range row CURRENT, Step 5.8 requires a full pass after a zero-edit fix-range pass, Step 4.8 stays full, and Step 5.0 can't suppress this invocation's skipped defects through its own intermediate records. Mutation checks on the rendered skill, each caught by the suite:
+  - letting a fix-range pass be final;
+  - dropping the full-pass condition on "No edits";
+  - narrowing every repeat;
+  - dropping the refusal fallback;
+  - narrowing the first pass;
+  - not logging the edited pass;
+  - logging after the repeat;
+  - narrowing Step 4.8 and other base uses;
+  - letting Step 5.0 read this invocation's records.
+- No threshold, budget, timeout, trial count or case kind changed. Size pins only went down.

+**/design-html builds landing pages around one visitor action and pages that look finished, without inventing proof; adapted from Elaya's design skills (GSTA-92).** Freeform /design-html asked for purpose, audience and feel, then built. It never asked for the one action the page exists for or where the traffic comes from, and nothing caught a page that shipped with invented customers and numbers, a dead `href="#"`, a scroll-listener reveal, `100vh`, or no description, favicon or working skip link. Now every run reads a craft section at Step 1, and a free checker counts the tells at Step 4. Adapted from Elaya's [ai-design-skills](https://github.com/elayadesign/ai-design-skills) (landing-page-design, design-to-motion) and [redesign-skill](https://github.com/elayadesign/redesign-skill), MIT, © 2026 Elaya. Thank you, Elaya.
+
+### Changed
+- **/design-html reads `sections/craft.md` on every run (Step 1).** The spec opens with `Surface: Persuade` or `Surface: other`. A Persuade page (landing, pricing, waitlist, campaign, comparison) asks at most three multiple-choice questions (primary action, traffic source, published or reference) and states the rest in one `Assumed:` line; picks one of four archetypes with a reason; keeps the hero budget (one proof signal only when real proof exists, never a metric row) and chooses the rest of the page from the archetype and objections; gives the primary action real invalid, pending, failure and success states. Every page: claims (testimonials, logos, results, prices, guarantees) come only from the user, and missing proof is left out or marked `[Needs proof: …]`; illustrative data looks real; a ship floor scoped to full documents (title, description, favicon, share tags on shareable pages, `og:image` only from a supplied URL, a skip link that reaches `<main>`, landmarks, alt text, inline validation, no dead links, `aria-current` on route navigation); scale snapping with readability floors and the nested-radius rule; balanced line breaks; motion rules for the one authored moment (content visible without script, `IntersectionObserver`, cheap properties only, no `scale(0)`, named curves, `100dvh`).
+- **Step 4** runs `bin/gstack-design-craft` after the Slop Gate, whether or not the detector is installed, with the gate's contract: one fix pass, one rerun, the rest accepted with a reason, once more when the refinement loop ends. The hand-off opens with a "Before this can ship" block: proof markers, production dependencies, exceptions, and every claim the check changed.
+- **/design-shotgun**: a landing, pricing or campaign screen's variants also differ in page archetype, keep the one primary action identical, and carry their section outline as a caption.
+
+### Added
+- **`bin/gstack-design-craft`** (`lib/design-craft.ts`): prints `CRAFT_CHECK: <id> <count> <fix>` per tell and `CRAFT_RESULT: clean` (exit 0) or `<n> issue(s)` (exit 1); exit 2 on a non-HTML, empty or unreadable file. Copy rules read decoded visible text; `alert()` counts only in scripts; head and navigation rules run only on a full document. Buzzwords report under the catalog's `marketing-buzzword` id.
+- **NOTICE.md** and `licenses/MIT-elaya.txt`. Not carried over, because they conflict with gstack's design rules: Elaya's fixed fonts (Geist and Poppins are on gstack's overused-display list), palette, spacing values and icon sets, gradient hero text, mandatory scroll reveals and tagline section, and the island nav.
+
+### Tests
+- `test/design-craft.test.ts`: every tell with its count; a finished page, inlined Pretext, a `100vh` line with its `100dvh` fallback, discount copy and in-page anchors stay clean; look-alike attributes, encoded markers, `!important` and reversed fallbacks; skip links judged by position and target in any language; the craft section's banned words and names all flagged; CLI exit codes.
+- `design-html-slop-gate` also requires the craft check to run once or twice; the design-html carve guard requires the craft section read.

+
+**`/context-restore` now says when commits landed after a checkpoint was saved, instead of offering finished steps as the plan.** `/context-save` recorded the branch, a timestamp and the modified files, but not the commit, so a checkpoint saved before a step was committed came back with that step still listed under Remaining Work. Ported from #3316 by @soyames, with their commit kept.
+
+### Fixed
+- **`bin/gstack-slug --stamp-checkpoint`** also writes `head:`, the commit the save describes, next to `remote:`, `project_root:` and `worktree:`. A re-stamp replaces it rather than adding a second line.
+- **`/context-restore`** compares `head:` with `HEAD` before presenting. When commits landed after the save it prints how many and lists up to ten, and puts every Remaining Work item under Verify first. A saved commit that is not in this checkout's history (saved on another branch, rebased, reset, or not fetched) is reported the same way. A malformed `head:` is checked as 40 or 64 hex digits before any git command sees it, `head:` is read from the frontmatter only, and outside git the comparison uses the saved `worktree:` before `project_root:`. Checkpoints saved before this keep their usual sorting with a one-line note.
+
+### Tests
+- `test/context-restore-head.test.ts` runs the real save-path, stamp and head-check blocks from the generated SKILL.md files in fixture repos: unchanged, two commits landed, diverged after a reset, resumed from another branch, a nested linked worktree restored from outside git, a re-stamp after a new commit, pre-tracking, a `head:` that appears only in the body, and a `head: $(touch pwned)` that must never execute.

+
+**/plan-tune's inferred profile finally moves: a clicked answer is logged as the question's registered option key, not its label.** #2623 showed every inferred dimension stuck at 0.5 on a 1,286-event log: the AskUserQuestion hook recorded labels like "A) Fix it now (recommended)", while the signal map that turns answers into dimension nudges is keyed by registered option keys like `fix-now`, so 0 of 1,286 answers matched. Now five hook-captured label answers to the registered architecture-finding question move `architecture_care` from 0.5 to 0.632, and `--trace` lists all five.
+
+### Fixed
+- **`bin/gstack-question-log`**: on a hook-captured event (`source: hook`) for a registered `question_id`, the clicked label is mapped to that question's registered option key before it is written, and the label is kept in a new `choice_label` field. A label in `recommended` is mapped the same way, so `followed_recommendation` compares keys. Ad-hoc and `hook-<hash>` ids and unmatched or ambiguous labels are written as given. Rows from other writers (the agent's own log call, auto-decide, Codex import, typed free text) are unchanged, because readers such as the plan-ceo-review auto-decide check match the full mode names those rows carry. Existing logs are not rewritten.
+- **`scripts/psychographic-signals.ts`**: new `resolveOptionKey(question_id, label)`. It strips the `A)` selector and `(recommended)` suffix, then matches the label's leading words against the question's own options only: each key's own words (`fix-now` → "fix now") plus a short cue list ("Add to TODOs" → `defer`, "Ship as-is" → `skip`, "HOLD SCOPE" → `hold`). The longest cue wins and a tie stays unmapped.
+
+### Tests
+- `test/plan-tune.test.ts`: every registered option resolves from its own words, bare and as an `A) … (recommended)` label; 20 common phrasings, including the four plan-ceo-review mode names, map to their keys; negative controls (unregistered ids, a question with no options, a label naming no option, a mid-sentence cue, another question's key, a number that looks like a selector) stay unmapped. Two capture tests run the real bin: hook labels become keys with `choice_label` kept, while agent rows (including a `HOLD SCOPE` auto-decide row), ad-hoc ids, unmatched labels and free text are untouched, and a picked label follows a key recommendation. Both capture tests fail against the old bin.
+
+### Gate integrity
+- No test expectation, threshold, budget, timeout, trial count or case kind changed. Existing tests that pin label rows from the agent, auto-decide and Codex import paths pass unchanged.

+
+**Five flaky tests now fail only for real defects, and a judge reply that isn't valid JSON says so in its failure line (daily flaky-fix pass, GSTA-91).** `context-restore-fragment-match` failed 0/3 on main cb99df4, although every run restored the right checkpoint: to find the checkpoint whose title matches, the agent often prints all three, and the case failed whenever another checkpoint's body appeared anywhere in the transcript. `test/gstack-ff-update.test.ts` counted every `sleep 300` on the machine, so heartbeats from parallel test files changed its count (remote pregate at #3412's head: expected "1", received "3"). The `GSTACK_CAPY=1` install-admission case in `test/gstack-skill-start.test.ts` makes ten `gstack-skill-start` spawns under bun's 5 s default timeout and took 3.6–5.7 s on a 4-core machine. The QA-only fixture's late scenarios mocked a 1000 ms capture budget but ran each attempt's real setup inside it. The setup-browser-cookies workflow judge in train-4 gate 40173759210 returned JSON with an unescaped quote in its reasoning, and the flake record read only "JSON Parse error: Expected '}'".
+
+### Fixed
+- **`test/helpers/context-restore-fragment.ts`** (new): `fragmentRestoreVerdict` reads only the agent's report (top-level assistant text and the final result), never tool output. The report must carry the payments checkpoint's body and no other checkpoint's body. `test/skill-e2e-context-skills.test.ts` uses it for the fragment-match case.
+- **`test/helpers/llm-judge.ts`**: when a judge response is not valid JSON, `callJudge` throws a `SyntaxError` that names the judge output, its stop reason and length, and the retained `llm-judge-response-parse-error` event. It still fails closed and parses no score; the request is unchanged.
+
+### Tests
+- `test/context-restore-fragment-verdict.test.ts` replays the three captured false reds from main (`test/fixtures/context-restore-fragment-match-captures.json`) as passes. Controls that must fail: captures rewritten to resume alpha or omega, synthetic runs that read and resume only alpha or omega, resume summaries that mix two checkpoints, and a payments body that appears only in tool output. Restoring the old any-byte surface fails all four positive controls. Focused paid runs of the case: 0/3 on main, 3/3 after (about $0.11 a trial).
+- `test/llm-judge-frontier.test.ts` replays the exact captured cookie-judge reply: it fails closed with no score, one request and the new diagnosis. It fails on the previous helper.
+- `test/gstack-ff-update.test.ts`: the reap case runs `gstack-ff-update` with a heartbeat interval unique to the test process and counts only sleepers of that interval, starting from zero. The old count failed with a loop starting unrelated `sleep 300` processes beside it (expected "5", received "14"); the new one passes, and still fails when the bin stops reaping its sleeper.
+- `test/qa-only-fixture.test.ts`: in the late scenarios the fixture clock stands still from the start of each attempt until its runner starts, so the real setup work (directory copies and five `git` calls) costs no fixture time. The runner and cleanup stay on the real clock, as the deadline-evidence check requires. Each late capture must now get exactly the 1000 ms budget. A new `late-slow-retry` scenario stalls each attempt's setup for 1100 ms, longer than the whole budget, and its attempt 2 still has to succeed. Before, a loaded machine either used up the work budget in setup (`QA-only work budget exhausted`) or Bun's 1580 ms deadline killed a setup `git` child (exit `null` at `skill-e2e-qa-workflow.test.ts:133`); this is what failed late-retry in the 2026-10-24 and 2026-10-25 remote pregates. Under 24 busy loops on 4 cores: late-retry 1/20 → 20/20, late-failure-retry 2/20 → 20/20, late-timeout 6/20 → 20/20, late-slow-retry 20/20. Reverting the clock fails all four late scenarios unloaded; reverting the deadline fails `late-slow-retry`.
+- `test/gstack-skill-start.test.ts`: the `GSTACK_CAPY=1` install-admission case gets an explicit 20 s timeout. Measured on a 4-core Capy machine with a temporary 60 s cap: 3.6–5.7 s through Capy's git shim (9 of 10 over 5 s), 2.6–4.9 s with the real git binary. Four of its ten spawns are full admissions at about 800 ms each.
+
+### Gate integrity
+- One test budget changed, approved by GStack Minder on 2026-10-25: the install-admission case's timeout goes from bun's 5 s default to 20 s, about 3.5 times the 5.7 s worst case measured above. No assertion changed.
+- The QA-only late scenarios register each attempt with its real outer budget (1000 + 80 + 5000 = 6080 ms, the value `outerMs` already asserts) instead of a shortened 1580 ms Bun deadline, which left cleanup 500 ms of real time under load. Measured child totals with the fix under 24 busy loops, 20 runs each: late-timeout 2.4–2.7 s, late-retry 4.1–4.3 s, late-failure-retry 4.7–5.0 s, late-slow-retry 6.2–6.6 s, against the parent's unchanged 15 s spawn timeout. The mocked 1000 ms capture budget, the 80 ms drain and every existing assertion are unchanged. Verdict: justified, because the deadline was a fixture artifact shorter than the budget the case declares, and the clock freeze, not the deadline, is what removes the load sensitivity.
+- `context-restore-fragment-match`: the failure surface moves from the whole transcript to the agent's report. Alpha or omega bytes in tool output no longer fail the case; the payments body in tool output no longer counts as loaded, so the report must show it. A run that resumes another checkpoint, or mixes two, still fails. `test/test-of-test-ratchet.test.ts` gains one BASELINE entry, the replay test, with its reason, and the new helper joins the touchfiles of the nine context-skills cases, as the derived-closure rule requires.
+- `scripts/harness-version.json` records `test/helpers/llm-judge.ts` as non-behavioral at HARNESS_VERSION 6: only a parse failure's message changes, before any score is parsed, so no case's verdict or pass-rate series changes.
+- No threshold, trial count, case kind, rubric, judge request or prompt changed.

+
+**The session-start updater no longer skips because of its own session's workflow lease, and the autostash tests stop failing their first pass in Free Tests.** Since #3385, `gstack-session-update` skips the fast-forward while another session holds a workflow lease, and it means to ignore the session that started it (`--exclude-ancestry-of`). The check runs in the forked background updater, though, and passed the hook's own `$$`, which has exited by then, so the ancestry walk excluded nothing. A Claude Code process that had already run a skill (and so held a lease) and then started a session again in the same process (`/clear`, resume or compaction) logged `SKIP leased pid=<its own pid>` and never updated. `test/session-update-autostash.test.ts` hit the same gap plus a fixture leak: its first two fixtures spawned the updater with the whole parent environment, so it read the test preload's `GSTACK_LEASE_DIR`, which every test file in the same Bun process shares. A lease another file left there gave "Received: SKIP leased pid=3196/1m" where UPDATING or PULL_FAILED was expected, in 13 Free Tests runs since #3385 merged (each passed on the serial retry).
+
+### Fixed
+- **`bin/gstack-session-update`**: before it forks, the hook resolves its caller's harness pid with `gstack_harness_pid "$PPID"` (`bin/gstack-harness-pid.sh`), the same derivation `bin/gstack-skill-start` uses for the pid it leases, and the background lease check excludes that pid's ancestry. Leases held by other live sessions still skip the update. `bin/gstack-upgrade` runs its check in the foreground, so its `$$` is alive and it is unchanged.
+
+### Tests
+- `test/session-update-autostash.test.ts`: every fixture now runs the updater with its own `GSTACK_STATE_ROOT` (the top of the state-root chain, instead of `GSTACK_STATE_DIR`, which an inherited `GSTACK_HOME` outranks) and its own `GSTACK_LEASE_DIR`. A negative control holds a live lease in the shared preload lease directory, confirms the ambient environment sees it, and shows the fixture still updates; it fails with "SKIP leased" without the fixture change. A positive case shows the fixture's own live lease still skips the update.
+- `test/session-update-stages.test.ts`: the starting session's own lease (the test process, behind a `/bin/sh -c` wrapper as a hook runner would use) no longer blocks the update. It fails on main with `SKIP leased`. The other session-update test files already pass an explicit environment, so their leases resolve to the fixture install's own git dir.
+
+### Gate integrity
+- No threshold, budget, timeout, trial count, case kind or assertion changed. The lease rule is narrower in one respect only: the starting session's own harness and its ancestors no longer count as holders, which is what `--exclude-ancestry-of` promised.

+
+**A design doc edited in host plan mode no longer goes stale for the plan reviews (#542).** When /office-hours ran inside Claude Code's plan mode, the design doc lived twice: gstack's copy under `~/.gstack/projects/<slug>/` and the host's plan file under `.claude/plans/`. Later edits went only to the plan file, so /plan-ceo-review and /plan-eng-review read the older gstack copy and called it the source of truth. The gstack design doc stays the single source (Garry, Oct 17: "designdoc"). Edits made in the plan copy are now written through to it, and every plan review is warned when the copy is newer.
+
+### Fixed
+- **`office-hours/SKILL.md.tmpl`**: the closing design-doc check takes the host plan file that holds the doc. When that file is newer and differs, it is copied over the gstack doc (`PLAN_COPY: written through`), and the pairing is recorded beside the doc in `<doc>.plan-copy`. A repo copy under `docs/designs/` is rewritten from the doc under Phase 5's scan rule. An older plan file never overwrites the doc, and outside plan mode nothing is recorded.
+- **`bin/gstack-design-doc-find`**: when the newest state-root doc has a recorded plan copy, the helper prints `DESIGN_PLAN_COPY` with the write-through command on stderr. When the copy is newer than the chosen doc and differs from it, it also prints `STALE_DESIGN_DOC` with the `cp` to run before reading. Stdout still prints only the doc path, so every caller of `{{DESIGN_DOC_DISCOVERY}}` (plan reviews, /autoplan, the spec-review prerequisite check) gets the lines with no change in rendered size. The write-through always targets the state-root doc, even when a newer repo copy won discovery.
+- **`plan-ceo-review/SKILL.md.tmpl`, `plan-eng-review/SKILL.md.tmpl`**: the design-doc check runs a `STALE_DESIGN_DOC` write-through before reading and says so in one line. After a review edits the plan copy, it runs the `DESIGN_PLAN_COPY` write-through after the exit gate, before telemetry.
+- To stay within the SKILL.md size pins, plan-eng-review drops its 15th cognitive pattern ("Error budgets", already named in pattern 7), and office-hours drops three explanatory sentences (cross-team discovery, the profile binary's mktemp details, the `sessions[]` array) and shortens one.
+
+### Tests
+- `test/design-doc-plan-copy.test.ts` runs the real helper and the generated office-hours block against temp state roots: no recorded copy (silent), a copy in sync (named, no warning), a newer edited copy (warning; running its printed `cp` updates the doc and clears it), a doc edited after the copy (no warning), relative, non-markdown and missing recorded paths (ignored), and a repo copy that wins discovery (the write-through still targets the state-root doc). The office-hours block writes newer plan edits through, never lets an older plan file overwrite the doc, and records nothing outside plan mode. Both plan reviews carry the helper's two line names.
+
+### Gate integrity
+- Size pins in `test/fixtures/skill-md-size-allowlist.json` only go down: plan-eng-review by 44 characters on 11 hosts, office-hours by 31 on 4 hosts. No pin was raised. No threshold, budget, timeout, trial count or case kind changed.

+**Local paid runs from `eval:bg` now set `EVALS_RUN_ID`, so the native-capture cases start instead of failing in 0 seconds.** CI sets `EVALS_RUN_ID` per slice, but `bun run eval:bg:pr --local` launched without it, and the qa-callers, ship-docsync and qa-functional cases refuse to start without it. In GSTA-70's local /ship run, 17 of the 26 selected behaviors failed that way for $0. A failure like that is a launch failure, not a verdict, so the local run told you nothing about those cases.
+
+### Fixed
+- **`scripts/eval-bg.ts`**: the local backend launches through a new `launchLocal`. It exports `EVALS_RUN_ID` as the run-scoped log's name, reduced to `[A-Za-z0-9_.-]`, and keeps a value you exported yourself. The id is written on the log's second line, so you can find the run's native captures. `--help` says so. Dispatched CI runs are unchanged.
+
+### Tests
+- `test/eval-detach-timeout-floor.test.ts`: a detached child launched by `launchLocal` sees a safe `EVALS_RUN_ID` named after its log, and an exported id is kept. A source check confirms that the local backend launches through `launchLocal`.

+## [1.91.218.0] - 2026-10-25
+
+**`gstack-team-init required` now blocks skills when its gate can't run, instead of letting them through.** Issue #3319 (exGeni): the required-mode Skill hook is a `node -e` launcher. On a teammate's Mac or Linux machine without Node.js, the shell exits 127 with nothing on stdout. If `.claude/hooks/check-gstack.cjs` is missing, node exits 1. Claude Code treats any exit other than 0 or 2 as a non-blocking error, so in both cases the Skill call went ahead on exactly the machine the gate is for. A live Claude Code 2.1.310 session with node off PATH and no gstack install ran the skill.
+
+### Fixed
+- **`bin/gstack-team-init`**: the check-gstack handler is registered with `"onFailure": "block"`, Claude Code's documented fail-closed switch (2.1.295+). A launcher that can't start, or exits with any code other than 0 or 2, now blocks the Skill call. The reason shown is `blocking because onFailure is "block"` plus the shell's `node: not found` (or node's `Cannot find module …check-gstack.cjs`). Exit 2 (deny) and exit 0 (allow) are unchanged. Re-running `required` upgrades an existing registration in place, and the manual-registration fallback names the field.
+- The required CLAUDE.md section tells the agent what those two block reasons mean (install Node.js; the hook file is missing) and not to work around them. `required` prints that every developer needs node on PATH and Claude Code 2.1.295+, and the README says the same.
+
+### Compatibility
+- Measured with a live `claude -p` Skill call per version. 2.1.295 and 2.1.310 block when node is missing or the hook file is gone, still deny with exit 2 when gstack is absent, and still run the skill when gstack is installed. 2.1.294 ignores the unknown field without rejecting the settings file: the hook still loads and denies as before, and a machine without node is still let through there, as it was before this change.
+- Copilot CLI documents command `preToolUse` hooks as already failing closed on a crash or non-zero exit, so this change does not alter its outcome. Its handling of the extra field was not measured (no Copilot login on the test machine).
+
+### Tests
+- `test/gstack-team-init-hook-schema.test.ts`: the handler is `{ type, command, onFailure: 'block' }`. The registered command exits 127 with no stdout when node is off PATH and 1 when check-gstack.cjs is missing, the failures only `onFailure` turns into a block. Re-running upgrades a handler registered without the field to exactly one handler with it.
+- `test/team-init-hook-shell-neutral.test.ts`: through the platform's default shell, the command without node exits neither 0 nor 2 with empty stdout, and the bin registers the handler with `onFailure: 'block'`. The PowerShell case and its retries are unchanged.
+- `test/team-mode.test.ts`: the legacy-upgrade assertion pins the new field.
+
+### Gate integrity
+- One gate edit, and it tightens the gate: the required-mode Skill hook goes from fail-open to fail-closed when its launcher fails. Nothing that used to block now allows. Negative controls: with `onFailure` removed from the bin, 4 tests fail (the three new registration and upgrade tests plus the team-mode pin); with it dropped only from the in-place upgrade path, 2 fail. The live runs with gstack installed (2.1.294, 2.1.310) still run the skill, so the allow path is not broken. No threshold, budget, timeout, retry or trial count changed.

Merge trains dispatch only `free-tests.yml` on the train branch. So no Windows run ever saw a train's combined tree or main after a merge, and a Windows break caused by two individually green PRs only surfaced on the next unrelated PR. Found while working on GSTA-68.
+
+### Fixed
+- **`.github/workflows/windows-free-tests.yml`**: adds `push: branches: [main]`, the same trigger free-tests.yml already has. The run uses the existing per-run concurrency group, and `record_durations` stays dispatch-only (on a push, `inputs.record_durations` is empty, so the lane runs and the recorder skips). Cost: about 40 job-minutes on GitHub's free `windows-latest` runners per merge.
+
+### Tests
+- `test/windows-native-workflows.test.ts` pins the new trigger set and requires the push trigger to be limited to main.

 **/sync-gbrain refuses an active autopilot before it touches the brain's source list (#3360, part 2; ported from #3362 by @exGeni).** The code stage checked for a running `gbrain autopilot` only right before its destructive walk. By then it had already cleaned up legacy sources, renamed a source and run `gbrain sources add`, so a refused run still registered a source it never synced.

As a contributor, use a full clone (no `--depth` flag) — you'll need history for `git log`, `git blame`, `git bisect`, and reviewing PRs against earlier versions. If you already have a `--depth 1` clone from following the README, promote it to a full clone with `git fetch --unshallow`.

+# lease never disappears while it is live. The lock is a directory, .lock,
+# whose owner file names its holder (`<pid> <start identity>`); mkdir is
+# atomic everywhere gstack runs, Git Bash on Windows included, where ln -s to a
+# target that does not exist always fails (#3330). A taker publishes its token
+# as a claim (.lock.claim.<pid>) before its mkdir and renames the claim into
+# the lock as its owner after, so a lock without an owner is either being
+# taken by a live claimant or orphaned by a dead one. A lock is broken only
+# when its holder is dead or its pid now belongs to another process, never by
+# age, and unlock removes only the caller's own lock. An ownerless lock is
+# broken once no claimant lives and it is at least 2 s old (and unchanged
+# while it was checked), so a taker between its mkdir and its owner rename is
+# never taken for a crash, even when its claim landed after the claims were
+# read. A claim is honored while its claimant lives; one that records no
+# start identity (so a reused pid cannot be told apart) is abandoned after 2
+# minutes, since a live taker holds one for milliseconds. Known limit: on such
+# a host a taker stalled over 2 minutes between its mkdir and its owner rename
+# can be broken and then publish into its successor's lock. An owner whose
+# pid is 0, zero-padded or not a number counts as a dead holder, and a lock
+# whose owner file exists but cannot be read is never treated as ownerless. A symlink .lock left by an older
+# gstack names its holder the same way and excludes a directory lock at the
+# same path. Known limit: the reverse does not hold, since an older gstack's
+# ln -s onto a directory lock links inside it and succeeds; only a process
+# that started before an upgrade of this checkout can run that code. A live holder
+# makes lock() give up after GSTACK_LEASE_LOCK_TRIES tries 0.1 s apart

+## Craft: Persuade pages and the craft floor
+
+**Persuade pages** applies when the page exists to get one action from a visitor: a landing, marketing, pricing, waitlist, campaign or comparison page. Write `Surface: Persuade` or `Surface: other` as the spec's first line; on `other`, skip to Craft floor, which applies to every page. An approved mockup wins on structure and visuals; this section fills only what it leaves open.
+
+### Persuade pages
+
+**One offer → one audience → one primary action.**
+
+**Intake.** When the context does not settle them, ask one AskUserQuestion with at most three multiple-choice questions: the primary action, the traffic source, and published or design reference. Assume the rest in one `Assumed:` line the user corrects in the refinement loop:
+- the conversion and the offer: exactly what they get
+- who it is for, the problem they came with, their top three objections, what they already know
+- the proof the user can supply (named customers, attributed quotes, real numbers) and the risk terms the business offers
+
+**Archetype.** When approved.json carries an `archetype`, the user already chose it on the /design-shotgun board: take it and its `sections` outline as given, name both in the spec's layout type, and do not re-pick or re-ask. Otherwise pick one and say why there: **classic hero + sections** (`classic-hero`, default; the product reads from one screenshot), **long-form story** (`long-form-story`, the visitor needs educating or is skeptical), **minimal conversion** (`minimal-conversion`, high-intent traffic or a small offer), **comparison** (`comparison`, search intent is "X vs Y").
+
+**Structure.** Above the fold at 375×667 and on desktop, inside the hero budget: a headline naming outcome and audience, one sentence on how, one primary CTA, one proof signal only when real proof exists (named logos or one attributed quote; a metric row stays banned), one product visual. Below it, choose modules and order from the archetype and the objections. The long-form menu: problem → solution, three to five benefits, how it works in three steps, proof, an FAQ of six to twelve real objections, the risk reversal, a final CTA identical to the top. A minimal page stays minimal; a comparison page leads with the comparison.
+
+**Conversion rules.**
+- A page behind an ad repeats the ad's promise and tone in the hero.
+- One primary CTA; nothing competes with it above the fold.
+- Benefit first and specific: "Cut weekly reporting from 4 hours to 15 minutes", never "save time".
+- Show the risk reversal the business offers (free plan, trial, no card, cancel anytime). Never invent one.
+- Proof sits beside the claim it supports. A high-friction offer moves the FAQ up.
+
+**The primary action works.** A real destination (supplied URL or form endpoint) and every state: invalid (inline error, input kept), pending (control disabled so it cannot submit twice, announced through `aria-live`), failure (what happened, input kept, retry) and success (what happens next). With no backend, simulate the states and say so in a code comment and your summary.
+
+**Copy.** A CTA is a verb plus what they get ("Start free trial"). Draft two or three headlines in the product's voice and keep the most specific one that names outcome and audience; "{outcome} without {pain}" is a test, not a template.
+
+**Indexing.** Record the publication decision; keep the site's policy when known. A page the user keeps out of search gets `<meta name="robots" content="noindex">`; an indexed page gets a real title and description, and its FAQ ships as FAQPage JSON-LD.
+
+**Build order.** One section at a time, top down; a refinement edits one section.
+
+### Craft floor (every page)
+
+**Claims come from the user, never from you.** Testimonials, customer names and logos, results, uptime, prices and guarantees appear only when supplied. Missing proof: leave the slot out, or mark it `[Needs proof: …]` in the warning color so it cannot ship by accident. A believable invented claim is worse than an obvious placeholder.
+
+**Illustrative content looks real.** Sample data in product shots and UI (table rows, chart values, people in a demo inbox):
+- No placeholder people or brands (John Doe, Jane Doe, Acme, Nexus, SmartFlow); distinct avatars; varied dates.
+- No round sample numbers (99.99%, 50%, 1,000+ customers, 10x). In a claim, a round number signals it was made up: use the supplied figure or drop it.
+- No buzzwords: elevate, seamless, effortless, supercharge, streamline, revolutionize, unlock, empower, unleash, next-gen, game-changer, delve, tapestry, "in the world of".
+- Sentence-case headings. Errors say what happened and what to do, never "Oops!". No exclamation marks in success messages.
+
+**Ship floor.** Head tags apply to a full HTML document, not a component or fragment. Every full document has `<title>`, a meta description, a favicon (an inline SVG data URI from the brand mark when no file is supplied), and on a page meant for sharing `og:title` and `og:description`; `og:image` only from a supplied URL. A "Skip to content" link is the first focusable element, hidden until focused, targeting the `id` of `<main>`. Landmarks (`<header>`, `<nav>`, `<main>`, `<footer>`); alt text on meaningful images, `alt=""` on decorative ones. A marketing footer links privacy and terms at supplied URLs. Required fields and email format validate inline, wired with `aria-invalid` and `aria-describedby`. Every link goes somewhere real: no `href="#"`, no made-up path; a control with no target renders disabled. Navigation to other pages marks the current one `aria-current="page"`; in-page section links do not.
+
+**Values come from the scale.** Every font size, space and radius is a step of the system's scale (DESIGN.md, else the spec), chosen by role. An off-scale value snaps to the nearest step that keeps its role, usually the one below, with that step's line height; never below 16px body text or a 44px touch target, and an approved mockup's measured values stand. A shape nested in another with a gap under 32px gets inner radius = outer − gap when that exceeds 2px.
+
+**Line breaks.** Browser-wrapped headings get `text-wrap: balance`, body `text-wrap: pretty`. Break display lines where the thought breaks; never one word alone on the last line.
+
+**Motion.** These govern the one authored motion moment and state transitions; they license no more motion.
+- Content is visible by default; script adds the hidden start state only after the observer is set up (`.motion-ready` on `<html>`), so a script failure or a crawler sees everything and the CTA never waits on an animation.
+- Reveal with `IntersectionObserver` (`threshold: 0`, bottom `rootMargin` about −20%, once). Never an unthrottled `window.addEventListener('scroll')`; scroll-linked effects read scroll inside `requestAnimationFrame`.
+- Animate `transform`, `opacity`, `filter`, `clip-path` only; blur 14px or less.
+- No object grows from `scale(0)` (start at 0.85 or more); only lines and bars grow from zero. A data bar fills as a left-to-right `clip-path` wipe, 0.7–1.1s.
+- Stagger in reading order inside one section (30–80ms), never across the page.
+- Curves are named tokens: DESIGN.md's, else `cubic-bezier(0.16, 1, 0.3, 1)` for entrances and `cubic-bezier(0.65, 0, 0.35, 1)` for wipes; `linear` only for constant motion.
+- Loops pause off-screen. `prefers-reduced-motion: reduce` shows the final state. Full-height sections use `min-height: 100dvh`, not `100vh`.
+
+### Craft check
+
+At Step 4, after the Slop Gate and before the screenshots, run the free checker on a vanilla HTML output (for framework output, say it is unavailable):
+
+```bash
+~/.claude/skills/gstack/bin/gstack-design-craft <path-to-finalized.html>
+```
+
+It prints one `CRAFT_CHECK: <id> <count> <fix>` line per tell (the realism rules above, `[Needs proof:` markers, scroll listeners, `100vh`, `transition: all`, `href="#"`, `alert()`, missing alt; on a full document a missing title, description, favicon, working skip link, or `aria-current` on route navigation), then `CRAFT_RESULT: clean` or `CRAFT_RESULT: <n> issue(s)`, plus the accepted count when `--accepted` covers any. No `CRAFT_RESULT` line: say the check was unavailable and continue. Same contract as the Slop Gate: one surgical fix pass, one rerun, the rest listed as accepted-with-reason (a real customer named Nexus, a supplied 50% figure). Rerun once when the refinement loop exits; report only new lines.
+
+**Accepted exceptions persist.** Step 5's finalized.json records each one in `craft_exceptions` as `{ id, count, reason }`, carrying forward earlier ones the check still reports at the count it reports now (`[]` when none, never the template's placeholder entry). When evolving a finalized page, or rerunning on the page this run finalized, append `--accepted <that finalized.json>` to the command; never after Start fresh or for a new page, whose old exceptions covered different content: a tell it covers prints `CRAFT_ACCEPTED: <id> <count> <reason>` and does not fail the check, so name those as accepted earlier instead of fixing or re-flagging them. A count above the accepted one stays a `CRAFT_CHECK` line; it is new, so fix it or accept the new count with a reason. A `cannot use exceptions` warning with exit 2 means that record is malformed: the page was still checked with none accepted, so treat every line as new and write `craft_exceptions` correctly at Step 5.
+
+**Before this can ship.** Open the Step 4 hand-off, and repeat before Step 5's "Copy to project": every `[Needs proof: …]` marker, the dependencies the page cannot own (legal URLs, form endpoint, og:image, indexing, analytics and cookie consent where required), the accepted exceptions, and every claim the check made you change.

+## Craft: Persuade pages and the craft floor
+
+**Persuade pages** applies when the page exists to get one action from a visitor: a landing, marketing, pricing, waitlist, campaign or comparison page. Write `Surface: Persuade` or `Surface: other` as the spec's first line; on `other`, skip to Craft floor, which applies to every page. An approved mockup wins on structure and visuals; this section fills only what it leaves open.
+
+### Persuade pages
+
+**One offer → one audience → one primary action.**
+
+**Intake.** When the context does not settle them, ask one AskUserQuestion with at most three multiple-choice questions: the primary action, the traffic source, and published or design reference. Assume the rest in one `Assumed:` line the user corrects in the refinement loop:
+- the conversion and the offer: exactly what they get
+- who it is for, the problem they came with, their top three objections, what they already know
+- the proof the user can supply (named customers, attributed quotes, real numbers) and the risk terms the business offers
+
+**Archetype.** When approved.json carries an `archetype`, the user already chose it on the /design-shotgun board: take it and its `sections` outline as given, name both in the spec's layout type, and do not re-pick or re-ask. Otherwise pick one and say why there: **classic hero + sections** (`classic-hero`, default; the product reads from one screenshot), **long-form story** (`long-form-story`, the visitor needs educating or is skeptical), **minimal conversion** (`minimal-conversion`, high-intent traffic or a small offer), **comparison** (`comparison`, search intent is "X vs Y").
+
+**Structure.** Above the fold at 375×667 and on desktop, inside the hero budget: a headline naming outcome and audience, one sentence on how, one primary CTA, one proof signal only when real proof exists (named logos or one attributed quote; a metric row stays banned), one product visual. Below it, choose modules and order from the archetype and the objections. The long-form menu: problem → solution, three to five benefits, how it works in three steps, proof, an FAQ of six to twelve real objections, the risk reversal, a final CTA identical to the top. A minimal page stays minimal; a comparison page leads with the comparison.
+
+**Conversion rules.**
